Denture repairs are an essential part of maintaining your smile, comfort and oral health. Over time, even the most well-crafted dentures may experience wear, fractures or fit-related issues that require professional attention. Ignoring damage can result in discomfort, reduced chewing function and changes to your facial appearance. Timely repairs help preserve the function of your denture and ensure that it continues to fit comfortably and securely in your mouth.
When to Seek Denture Repairs
It is important to seek professional denture repair in Fresno, California, if your appliance is chipped, cracked or broken. Even small fractures can worsen over time and compromise the integrity of the entire denture. Additionally, if your denture no longer fits properly or causes irritation, it may be a sign that your mouth has changed and the appliance needs to be adjusted or relined. Trying to repair dentures on your own with glue or at-home kits is not recommended and may lead to more extensive damage or negatively affect your oral health.
Common Types of Denture Repairs
Denture repairs vary depending on the extent and type of damage. A minor crack in the acrylic base or a chipped artificial tooth may be resolved with a quick, same-day repair. However, if the denture is broken in half or multiple teeth are damaged, the repair process may require more time or additional lab work. Our dentist will carefully evaluate the condition of your appliance and determine the best course of action to restore its structure and function.
In some cases, a repair may involve replacing missing or broken teeth, reinforcing weakened areas or rebasing the denture if the foundation has deteriorated. Prompt repairs can often save you from the cost of a full denture replacement.
